Last pregnancy pictures! SURPRISE!

Our last family picture of three!!
Well, we got a suprise this afternoon. After Alissa and I picked up Tyson from his first final at school, we drove to my weekly perinatologist appointment. I expected today's appointment to be the same - doctor telling me that Hannah looked great. Well, suprise, suprise, Hannah wants to meet her big sister sooner than friday! Her growth this week slowed down substantially enough that the doctor did not feel comfortable keeping me pregnant for a few more days, so we were sent to the hospital to have a baby! Of course, I left my house this morning thinking I would be back, but nope, here I am, hooked up to an IV, starting to have lovely painful contractions, and trying to distract myself by blogging! The plan is to start pitocin early in the morning, unless these contractions keep up. We expect Hannah to be born sometime before midday tomorrow! We are so excited and can't wait to become a family of FOUR!

My official last pregnancy profile picture! Tyson says he is going to miss the belly...I think I will too! Does my face hide my nervousness/excitement?
Alissa loved hanging out with me when we got to the hospital. She enjoyed the bed and wouldn't let me get in it with her at first...she just wanted to lay down by herself! They let me eat dinner before starting my induction since I won't be eating until this little miss is born. Of course Alissa and Tyson helped me finish my dinner...especially the Blue Bell ice cream! Alissa loved it to the last drop, as you can tell!
Tune in for pictures of our little one when she is born! Wish us luck! :)

Kristina I am so so so excited for you. Hannah is beautiful. Lorraine sent me a picture this morning. I am so glad everything went well and especially that Hannah was healthy. What a sweet little baby. I was going to come with Lorraine to see you and the baby, however I have been sick, so I will stay away for a while. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. Congratulations.

Okay, that pregnancy profile does not look big enought to be ready for delivery! You're too cute.

Hope things are going well with two little girls. They are sure cute. Looks like Alissa is holding a little dolly instead of a sister! :)
